A BIG THING FOR VIRGINIA,

A Especial to the Petersburg Hdo@-
.dfpedl from Philadelphia brings tho
gratifying announcement that vir-
ginia's ores and cokes have triumph
ed over those Of Alabama and Tenn,
i'll tests mado to ascertain their re-
specGve qualities. Furthermore,
Virginia ores arc ranked as Besse-
mer ores. This is encouraging news
indeed, and shows us what grand
future is in store for Virginia il her
people havo tho wisdom to foster her
prosperity by benefcent protection
of her raw materials, ns well as her
infant industries. Let us all tako
heart and hope, for tho good time is
surely coming.
The following ia the special to the
Indes- appeal.
reports have just been made OF
the tests i'll the ore aud cokes Of Yir-
grim, Tennessee aud Alabama. In
each instance the prize was awarded
to the product of Virginia. The coken
ran higher i'll fixed carbon than the
others and the ores showed greater
percentage of iron. What is better
than all else the Virginia ores are
ranked as Besemer ores and pro-
duco apig iron with not moro than l
per cent of phosphorus
There is enough of coal in South
west Virginia for the whole world for
centuries to come, and it is going to
play big part in tho industries and
commerce of the country. Tho Nor
folk and Western railroad need not
be SO much troubled about it's
through connections as how it is 60
ing to meet the strain upon it to get
this coal to the marts of trade aud
the places Of consumption. There is q
good time coming and no mistake.
Lynchburg ought to have at least
two more furnaces before the fields
elsewhere are occupied. -Lych6uyg

OUR BIG SALES.

The tide has fully set in in Taze-
we'll real estate. On Monday, Capt.
w. L. Peery, Joseph Stras, and Au-
gustus White, of Tazcwcll, and Har-
man Newberry, Of Bland county, sold
thirty-three thousand acres of miner
al and timber lands, on the Round
Mountain, east OF Burk's Garden, for
the sum of S1l5,500.O0. This land
contains an ine1haustible quantity OF
brown hematite and spccular iron
ores of remarkable richness. The
whole surface is an unbroken forest
of excellent timber. In the vicinity
is vast quantity of white pine.
The purchasers of this estate ore
Col. Holland, President of the Va. &
Ky. Railroad, A. S. Buford, President
of the Virginia Western, j. D. Blair
and W. N. Ruffin. These purchasers
were attended in their inspection ei
the mineral in this locality by Col
Bowles, specialist in iron manufac
ture.
These same parties at the same
time, purchased of John Ct. Watts
Henry Baker and Mr.. Beavers twelve
thousand acres OF coal land on the
Beech Fork and other branches of the
Dry Fork OF Tug River, at the price
of $4,000.
Each of these tracts of land is sit
uated near the base line of the pro
jected Virginia Western Railroad o.
which Col. A. S. Buford is President
The twelve thousand acres OF Goa
lands are situated in a direct line
about fifteen miles west of Pocahon
tas, and are q part Of the samo weir
worked by the last named company
They are also in a direct line from
New River to the Forks of Tug River
and the Chatteroi road, and n line
of railroad on this course would BIZ
the very shortest to the Ohio River
The extension of the Ohio & Wesi
Va. road now partly under contract
might form junction with this line
at the Forks of Tug, in a distance o.
twenty five miles, and never leave the
coal field at any point.
There are other properties still in
viting capital, and our people are no
going to drive away buyers by ex
travagant prices.
We regard these sales as but the
beginning ola grand development.
There is nothing sensational IL
these 4anseetions.
